Creating something with care and integrity can be a wondrous, soul-wrenching process. It can feel like you're in a wilderness, sometimes lost and without a map. This book is meant as a companion, both philosophical and practical, in that wild, emergent space. Whether you are writing a blog post or a novel, creating your first online class, or singing your hundredth song, A Creator's Companion examines the practice of making something from nothing.

There are five sections to roughly follow this process: opening, orientation, creation, disorientation, and completion. Orientation has many facets, including the body, direct experience, and your natural voice.

It's aimed at the ways in which we come to know, and not just know about, the world around and within us.

This is a book for those interested in the full experience, not just the shiny bits. It's not a guide that tells you every last detail, because you know the details are always changing, and that's what makes it interesting. That's what makes creation such an attentive practice.
